Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Okay, now I ask.
The questioner : Is it permissible for a woman to be treated by a Christian woman?
The Shaykh : Yes, if you trust her. If you trust her, there is nothing wrong with it. The evidence for this is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he traveled from Makkah to al-Madinah during the Hijrah, employed a polytheist man named 'Abd Allah ibn Urayqit from the Banu al-Dail. You know the seriousness of the issue, the seriousness of the issue, which is that he was guiding the way. As you know, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was being pursued intensely by Quraysh, to the point that they offered two hundred camels to whoever brought him and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). This polytheist could have exploited the situation by misleading them on the path. Nevertheless, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted him, he hired him. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh.
The Shaykh : In order, meaning the one next to you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Come, come, come, take the pitcher and the other cups. No, that's it, the people are done. Even the tea has cooled and is no longer good.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, okay.
